It's not the first time that an article used that picture. It kind of reminds me of this:

They pick a picture of Wu where Wu looks like a crazy insane asylum inmate. Who picked that photo? Wu?

Let's play the usual game. You all know the rules, but if not, they're under the spoiler tags.

Spoiler: Brianna Wu's Spot the Lie Game

Playing Spot the Lie is easy! All you need to do is keep an eye for the colored text applied to the quote below.

Black text is worth zero points.
A statement wrapped in Green Text is a case of weasel words - that the statement is essentially true but missing context that is necessary.
A Green Text statement is worth one point.
A statement wrapped in Yellow Text is a case of a lie of open to mid level. This usually indicates a lie of omission or an intentional misdirection of the truth.
A Yellow Text statement is worth three points.
A Red Text statement is a biggie - it's a lie that's not only been disproven, but been disproven categorically and is not defensible.
A Red Text statement is worth five points.

At the end of the block of text, you tally up the points. How many points Wu earns at the end shows how badly Wu lied:

0-3 Points: Probably covered nothing of substance. Wu may not even have been discussing anything of note.
4-9 Points: Wu lied a bit, about on par with her average press release. If you're also playing the Wu drinking game, take a shot.
10-16 Points: Wu lied a fair amount. This is about on average with her claims of needing an employee to handle her harassment. If you're playing the Wu drinking game, take 2 shots.
17-22 Points: Wu lied a lot. She probably was discussing Gamergate. If you're playing the Wu drinking game, drink the bottle.
23+ points: Wu lied a shitload. If you're playing the Wu drinking game as well, get your worldly affairs in order and then drink two bottles.

Brianna Wu, who has become one of the targets of Gamergate, had to hire someone full time to go through her email and Twitter mentions for death threats and other hate speech. (Gamergate is a movement led by mostly male gamers who say they are fighting for more ethical gaming journalism but has become better known for its cyberattacks on female gamers.)

On average, Wu says she files 10 to 40 reports per day with Twitter for what she calls "severe harassment."

"It's a steady drumbeat of any woman who speaks her mind in the field becoming a target," Wu said. "It's like being cast as a super villain in a movie. Anytime someone comes up with women in tech, I get harassment."

Wu said she became a target of Gamergate last October when she decided to publicly defend Zoe Quinn, another target of the movement.

Wu also says she has been "doxxed," meaning someone posted her home address and other personal information online, and the threats on her range from threatening to murder any of Wu's future children to a YouTube video of a man wearing a skull mask while he outlines his plans to murder her.

Eventually, the threats forced Wu out of her home, she said.

"The truth is that it damages you, and eventually the damage hurts you because you just don't feel anything," she said. "You don't recover from that, you just change."

Wu hears from women in the tech industry everyday seeking advice on how to handle the threats they're receiving. But she also faces an internal struggle every day: She wants people to recognize her for the work that she does as an engineer, like starting her own gaming studio, Giant Spacekat. But she also wants to continue to speak out and help other women who are being harassed.

"I got into technology to do technology. I am not known as an engineer," she said. "I feel torn every day. But I couldn't sleep at night if I chose to say, 'Hey everybody, I'm out.' "

But last week, Wu announced on Twitter that she would be focusing more on her work.

So let's tally up the score:


Green Text Score: 3
1 point for claiming she is Gamergate's specific target.
This is weasel words because Wu herself is specifically a serial violator of ethics.

1 point for saying she has "changed" from harassment.
She may have, but her behavior online is static.

1 point for saying she hears every day from women who are recieving threats.
Her fellow professional victims do count.


Yellow Text Score: 18
3 points for her claim she had to hire someone full time to manage her twitter.
There's no evidence that this person even exists, as evidenced by how Brianna manages her twitter with this individual at the helm.

3 points for claiming she reports 40 people a day for harassment.
As we've learned, disagreeing with Wu or existing on the same planet as her constitutes harassment in her eyes.

3 points for claiming to recieve threats each time she talks women in tech.
She doesn't. She recieves responses mostly for incendiary rhetoric and talking out her ass.

3 points for claiming she's been doxxed.
She provably doxxed herself on 8chan and her company address has long been public knowledge.

3 points for claiming she's an engineer.
You will never see her credentials.

3 points for announcing she'd be cutting back on Twitter to get work done.
She couldn't even keep away for 48 hours.


Red Text Score: 25
5 points for intentionally claiming Gamergate is about harassment.
SPJ proved otherwise, dipshit. Cry moar.

5 points for saying Wu is severely harassed.
NAM!'s statistics, already peer reviewed, say otherwise, as does any analysis of what Wu says is harassment.

5 points for saying she was harassed for defending Quinn.
She spent months antagonizing people hoping for a response, as has been proven.

10 points for referencing Tyce Andrews as credible.
That's five points for the reference to Tyce and another five point penalty for Wu continuing to claim he's credible 5 months after he was known to be a fucking hoax.


Final Score: 46
Holy Shit, Wu.

threats on her range from threatening to murder any of Wu's future children

AJAJAJAJA OH SHIT WHAT THE HELL

AJAJAJAJA OH SHIT WHAT THE HELL

You HAVE to be shitting me.


I also just checked Twitter's latest stock reports, and wow, that ship is sinking fast.

They just dipped below their IPO numbers.

Quick economics lesson:

IPO or "initial public offering", refers to the amount stock sells for when a business first opens.

This means confidence in Twitter is getting pretty terrible, and Wu's hugbox is going to have to cut corners pretty damned fast just to keep the people they do have, assuming the SJWs don't turn the place into more of an echo chamber than it already is.

 

[Accel_Rider]

Whenever there's an interview, you always say the same shit, isn't it Wu? Parrots can come up more things than you

See that there is an example of Flynt's false-flagging attempts, everyone knows the the truth about John-boy's missing uterus.

Just checked Reddit again, GethN7 left Arthur and friends multiple notices about how he was standing up for Arthur over being lied about and directly calling Nora Reed out for lying about him:

Stock investors are realizing that one of the main proponents of Twitter still says that a guy with a skull mask was a credible threat, even after the guy himself admitted it was a hoax.

Funding an insane asylum running by the committed is generally not a sound business venture.

Yeah I should have said 'non-existent' really.

Man he sure have balls to come up to GamerGhazi and defend himself. Especially when his comments are going to be downvoted to oblivion and no one can see it

Man Chu Chu train is further up Wu's ass than even Andrew Dobson!
His colon must work like a Tardis to squeeze two fat guys in there.

Arthur Chu namedropped as someone who's sexually attracted to Brianna Wu

Chu thinks John Flynt's the bomb!

 

[Optimus Prime]

My sides:

That motherfucker is trying to snap his own neck with how hard he's trying to not see the obvious.

Like, if somebody just asked him "Where was Brianna Wu in 2005" he legit couldn't answer...because Brianna Wu didn't fucking exist by that name yet.

Or "where did Brianna Wu get the $400K allegedly spent on developing Rev60" to point out how Flynt boy was born as a real world Richie Rich and has fucking squandered everything he can ever since getting kicked out of Ole Miss.

Somebody show this idiot a side-by-side comparison of the "old" R60 models of the characters to the "new" ones.

They're literally just re textured clones!
